Fakum Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Here is a sample of the text in one of my kneeboard pages. I have been fiddling with this for awhile to get it to be more legible, It looks just fine in Excel/Word/.png? I don't think I am the only one who ran into this, can someone please provide some input? Thank you kindly.

Post 699 has the image, Don't have the definitive answer but I have worked around such issues by converting to .png and enlarging "image" in paint.net.

Fakum Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks for the tip. What are you converting them from Word or Excel? I will give that a go.

Charles Darwin Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Same here but iirc it worked by running the app as admin tried as admin, still see kneeboard preferences greyed out.
Chic Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the tip. What are you converting them from Word or Excel? I will give that a go. You can find free conversion tools on line but for the most part I use Kneeboard Builder to convert a PDF or .html to a .png. Then find the .png in the Kneeboard Builder's "kneeboard" folder in Windows Explorer. I use the Select and Crop tool in Paint.net to make things "fill" the cockpit kneeboard.

Fakum Posted February 26, 2017 Posted February 26, 2017 Thanks, I will look into that. I have been converting Word or Excel files to PDF, I even tried printing both to PDF at 1200 RES, no joy, I even tried taking a screen shot of the text document ( which is VERY clear and legible) and pasting it in paint and saving to .png. looks good when you open the .png in an image viewer, but not when its opened in kneebuilder for some reason?

Chic Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) Keep tryin! :smartass: EDIT; The text was originally done with EVERNOTE. The schematic was a scanned drawing that I typed over with paint.net.

Fakum Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) That looks nice what you have indeed. What I posted was about the 8th attempt results, what followed after that just got worse, but thanks for sharing. EDIT: Thanks for the tip about Evernote, I use that on my tablet, I will try that as well, thanks.

metzger Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 I moved my DCS installation to a new SSD and now the kneeboard builder does not start. I changed the path in "settings.xml" but it freezes on the starting screen. Thanks! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
fitness88 Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Version 1.6.9.4 does not have the color window in custom kneeboard settings. Is it no longer an option? Thank you. Edited March 5, 2017 by fitness88

fitness88 Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Delete the 'KneeboardBuilder.exe.config' and run Kneeboard Builder and it should work. I did that but no difference, the problem is not being able to see the bottom of the user interface on the screen as it seems to be too large My resolution 1920x1080 see attached file and thank you: Edited March 5, 2017 by fitness88
AlaskanGrizzly Posted March 5, 2017 Author Posted March 5, 2017 Are you using windows display scaling or anything like that?
fitness88 Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Are you using windows display scaling or anything like that? Yes I am using win10 scale 175. What I ended up having to do was on one of my monitors I changed from landscape to portrait and was able to see everything on a sideways view and make my changes...was very awkward. If the scaling is causing this why am I able to see the preferences window in its entirety? See attached photo:

Vulpes Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Hi AlaskanGrizzly, Every time when I try to change the kneeboard using the taskbar icon I get the error message "Could not find a part of the path C:\program files\eagle dynamics\DCS World\mods\aircraft\flaming cliffs\cockpit\kneeboardLeft\device_init_original.lua", then it crashes. This folder "flaming cliffs" doesn't exist in my install. Why is Kneeboard builder asking for it? Vulpes

Chic Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Just thought I would reiterate what a great tool is Kneeboard Builder.

AlaskanGrizzly Posted March 13, 2017 Author Posted March 13, 2017 Yes, I have the F-15C module installed. Thanks. I'll work on a fix for it.
